RTSP stream no longer works (Possibly after Protect Update)

Hiya, long time watcher, first time poster

😄

Prior to last night my Youtube stream worked fine (https://www.youtube.com/@wlgwetaworker/live).

This is setup via OBS , which has a RTSP stream that my cloud key is providing and that gets sent to Youtube

This stopped working sometime overnight / no feed / black. I'm pretty sure it was a Cloudkey update (when I logged on to the Unifi page, I got a 'new features / bug fix splash screen'.

However can't easily find when the update happened (I can see Networking updates - which were applied late April, however nothing for the cloud key) or recall release notes mentioning changes with RTSP ,only this one. (https://community.ui.com/releases/UniFi-Protect-Application-7-1-60/470e3f55-27fe-4437-918f-1983562f459a)

  • Fixed an issue where AI Ports did not update RTSP URLs after a console IP change.

My Setup is

- UCK G2 Plus

- Network version (10.3.58)

- Protect version (7.1.60)

- Multiple cameras (12x) and the camera running the Stream is a G5 Pro (running 5.3.89)

I've done some Internet searching and ,

- Tested on VLC

- Restarted the camera

- Restarted the cloud key

- Re-adopted the camera.

And no luck.

The only way I seem to get it going is to modify the URL

Source (from cloudkey) = rtsps://192.168.1.50:7441/AGfqaPko4pNli3Fx?enableSrtp , which I previously gave OBS this = rtsps://192.168.1.50:7441/AGfqaPko4pNli3Fx

The Modified 'working' url is = rtsp://192.168.1.50:7447/AGfqaPko4pNli3Fx

While this is technically working, I'm not sure what has changed. and also the performance to Youtube was initially really poor (stuttered) , it seems to have come right now (initially the GPU was %100 , now back to a normal %80) and I often get corrupt / grey screens.

Hopefully someone has seen this / has some fixes

Thanks!
